	Has anyone done audio sampling and playback for the Symbolics using
low-cost commercial MIDI-type systems?  Do any of them provide for upload and
download of samples via RS-232 (EIA) ports or perhaps something faster, such as
the recently announced VME-bus adaptor?  Does anyone make a MIDI interface for
the Symbolics?  (Anyone want to trade me a MacIvory for a 3640?)
	I'm familiar with Digital Sound Corporation's DSC-200 system (which
requires the recently unavailable UNIBUS option) and MIT's SPIRE software.
Unfortunately our budget probably won't accommodate their combined cost --
around $30k.
	Is anyone using the audio facilities under 7.2?  Does
audio:play-disk-file work?
